Goliath: Born for the Moment by Vance K. JacksonSample

Don’t Waste Your Moment. 

You were created, by God, for this very moment. This is your moment. This is your time. This is your season. Don’t miss your moment. This is your hour. Just like David, who had a series of private catalytic moments in the field, David did not waste his moment. When it was time for David to lead, he executed, and he lifted the burden and removed the reproach from off of Israel.

David’s private catalytic moments gave him momentum to crush and kill Goliath. David’s private moments were critical for his future success. David was born to stand up in the face of national adversity and calamity. David was born to protect, lead, and transform a generation. David was called to kill Goliath. David was called to solve Israel’s “Goliath Dilemma.” What problem(s) are you called to solve?

No matter how seemingly minor your private moments are—every moment has purpose. Moments carry weight. Moments have significance. Moments have power. Moments have value. Moments carry momentum, and they shape the trajectory of your destiny. Make your moment count. Don’t waste the moment.

David served God in private. David obeyed God in private. David submitted to God and he protected his father’s flock in private. It was in these private moments, when no one was watching, where David’s character was groomed, shaped, and cultivated. It was in these private moments of obedience and submission where David was cultivated by God to kill giants and prepared him to lead nations.

Leadership starts in private. It is your private preparation that propels you to reign on public platforms. Your private moments matter and they prepare you to conquer public platforms. Don’t despise your private preparation. Don’t despise your small beginnings. Don’t minimize your private victories. Your private moments matter.

What is God preparing you for in private? What giant is God preparing you to slay? What strategic problem is God preparing you to solve? It’s time to kill what has been plaguing your family for generations. It’s time to crush what’s been taunting over your career. It’s time to kill what’s been taunting over your business. It’s time to crush what’s been weighing you down. It’s time to kill the Giant. It’s time to kill Goliath. Kill the problem. Seize your moment. This is your moment. Now is the time.
